optical interferometer
41Fizeau interferometer — A Fizeau interferometer is similar to a Fabry Perot interferometer in that they both consist of two reflecting surfaces. In a Fizeau interferometer, however, the two surfaces are usually much less than totally reflecting (4 30%), so that… …
42Intensity interferometer — An intensity interferometer is the name given to devices that use the Hanbury Brown and Twiss effect. In astronomy, the most common use of such an astronomical interferometer is to determine the apparent angular diameter of a radio source or star …
43Shearing interferometer — The shearing interferometer is an extremely simple means to observe interference and to use this phenomenon to test the collimation of light beams, especially from laser sources which have a coherence length which is usually a lot longer than the …
44VLT Interferometer — Das Paranal Observatorium ist ein astronomisches Observatorium in der Atacamawüste im Norden Chiles, auf dem Berg Cerro Paranal. Dieser liegt etwa 120 km südlich der Stadt Antofagasta und 12 km von der Pazifikküste entfernt. Das Observatorium… …
45Very Large Telescope Interferometer — Das Paranal Observatorium ist ein astronomisches Observatorium in der Atacamawüste im Norden Chiles, auf dem Berg Cerro Paranal. Dieser liegt etwa 120 km südlich der Stadt Antofagasta und 12 km von der Pazifikküste entfernt. Das Observatorium… …
46Atom interferometer — An Atom interferometer is an interferometer based on exploiting the wave character of atoms.OverviewInterferometry inherently depends on the wave nature of the object. As pointed out by de Broglie in his PhD thesis, particles, including atoms,… …
47Cambridge Optical Aperture Synthesis Telescope — COAST, the Cambridge Optical Aperture Synthesis Telescope, is a multi element optical astronomical interferometer with baselines of up to 100 metres, which uses aperture synthesis to observe stars with angular resolution as high as one thousandth …
48Neutron interferometer — In physics, a neutron interferometer is an interferometer capable of diffracting neutrons, allowing the wave like nature of neutrons, and other related phenomena, to be explored. Interferometry inherently depends on the wave nature of the object …
49Laser Interferometer Space Antenna — For other uses of this acronym, see LISA (disambiguation). Laser Interferometer Space Antenna Artist s conception of LISA spacecraft Operator ESA, NASA Satellite of Sun The Laser Interfe …
50Linnik interferometer — A Linnik interferometer is a two beam interferometer used in microscopy and surface contour measurements or topography. The basic configuration is the same as a Michelson interferometer. What distinguishes the Linnik configuration is the use of… …
